Ollie Liu
I’m a second-year Ph.D student in Computer Science at University of Southern California, fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Dani Yogatama and Prof. Willie Neiswanger. In life, my friends call me Oliver 🫒
I’m passionate about developing multimodal foundation models that accelerate scientific discovery. My current research includes foundation model pre-training, understanding and exploring their capabilities and limitations, and continual training to align them with human desiderata.
Before USC, I was a researcher in continuous optimization with Prof. Jorge Nocedal at Northwestern University. Even before that, I did my B.S+M.S at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in machine learning.
I love spending time with my border collie pup Doodle! He lives with my family in the beautiful State of Washington.
